I admit, I'm questioning this too but when I'm not running on 4-5 hours of sleep and not working, I plan to test this out on the differences. See how it feels!

counter-counter point A lot of this has already been tested in closed beta, and probably already has been doing proper testing. The proper testing has been finished and its just looking for last minute changes before its official release. That being said, I'm so excited AND Energy Aura coming to Tankers at long last!? YASSSSSS!

Well, I know what I'm going to be drinking tonight during Everlasting's daily RWZ runs.

This costume contest looks great but I'm a little put off on the fact that unique names are now being auctioned off via costume contests. There's an issue with names being hoarded as is to the point that they are testing for name releases but even then, if your level 50, you can just have a name forever whether you play that toon regularly or not. It just feels really in poor form to be doing this with unique names now. I know influence/infamy isn't exciting and there's a limit to prizes but I feel like this is a step too far?? Please don't auction off names or use them for contests.

Yeah, I've had this happen to me too. Because I've lost access to original accounts and had to make new ones for the sole purpose of editing the ones I created. But because of the new changes, I've lost access to Solarguard as a page, and can't make further edits due to the new permissions. There's no one to contact either so this is mildly annoying.

Welcome back home! Glad to see you here! I had no idea Tic Toc was you!!

NCSoft can shut down ANY city of heroes private server at any time. As long as you play, you have a good chance of being shut down. With the licensing agreement, Homecoming is less likely to be shut down. If you feel safer on private servers instead of one with a licensing agreement, keep in mind that you run the risk of those servers getting C&D. NCSoft can do that at any time.

Mostly wondering if I should try Fire Melee with Ice Armor or go with Ice Melee with Fire Armor?

You were literally the Gingerbread Man from Shrek 3 in trying to avoid saying yes or no, lol. Glad to see a confirmation at long last!

Oh. My. God. I've been wanting that seer outfit for years. Seeing it-omgosh and everything else, I'm so HYPED!!

That's another problem though. Level 50 means your at a time level to so and so. Another suggestion is to literally let people ignore that number. You are literally forced into a choice to either forcibly cap yourself in the game to play the content you want while never reaching other levels or to go to level 50 and be capped forever. Not everyone wants to just cap one character then go use another. You can't go into Kings Row at level 50, set up a radio, and be greeted with "these are beneath you." What kind of hero says that? I suggest we treat level 50 for what it is - a level, but how that level is should be up to the player. Does that increase in power make them feared higher up to incarnate level? What if they just want to be saving the world level? Or just making gangs having to literally settle a truce to literally come at you hardcore? Something similar to villains, too. At the very least, let players be able to run radios/paper missions everywhere no matter where they are. Even if it doesn't cater to the level they are at, the option should be there.

So with the game going official and potentially finishing out content that got left in the dirt years ago, this also leaves the option to either go with the original vision of the developers or to try to go through channels. Like, I get it, I love the incarnate path and the magic stuff. While talking with friends though, I'm noticing more and more how City of Heroes just slowly becomes City of Gods. There really isn't much to cater to people who want to play certain kind of heroes, like street level, or handle other things. I guess my suggestion is after going forward, I think instead of branching further to the original vision that Homecoming should branch to its own vision. It's a City of Heroes. City of Villains. Going Rogue brought interesting in-betweens too, but I think it opens up a lot more potential stories to cater to different needs. I absolutely love that one story with the Skulls and would like more things to cater to all levels, regardless of in-game level. Magic should take a backseat for a while and cater to other things; mutations, science, technology or even just natural things. There should be more smaller stories to allow a person to want to play a street level hero despite being level 50 and able to bust up games. The opposite should be true for a villain if they want to be street level villainy. This game is old so I don't know what's possible in the code or not but I think we should cater more to the name and branch out for smaller stories, showing off the lore and updating it(looking at the Trolls here) and letting players customize their experience to what kind their character wants to be. Of course, this may cater more to roleplay tastes but it could also mean more options to get neat toys too. I don't know, just thought I'd throw it out to the wind.

I have wrote before but to have it set up again. Hi! I played as Luficia and Dominatriea back on Live on the Virtue server. Now? I play on the Everlasting server with the global name @Aymeigh My main characters these days are as follows: Solarguard (My main) Dominatriea (yep brought her back) Gemknight Tanzanite Spider Scout Eremite Centennial Cosmic Glory Atomistic and last but not least to get her leveled Deathmaiden -- I AM looking for anyone who used to be part of the Steadfast Pact back in live! Mostly someone who played True Silver. If you see this and you play the game now, I've been looking to meet back up with you for years! Hit me up if you see this!

With the exp boosts, I'm trying to take advantage with a new alt to my Gemknight for alt powers and I never really played Blaster since 2004. I'm aiming for Water Blast/Temporal for a fun combo. I want to make this work for level 50 damage powerhouse with other utilities related to the build. Any other tools to take. I'd like to work either magic flight or would take super jump as a travel power. Anyone who has played this set, what recommendations you got or even IOs to work with on each one??

I'll try to throw myself in there after work if your still stress testing after 5 PM EST.
